I would've failed out of highschool but homeschool allowed me to take community college classes that didn't force 2 hours of busywork every day. If regular schools could deal with different types of students I'd agree, but as it is now that's not the case.

https://ibb.co/pvk0HWv https://ibb.co/bsPRfyZ https://ibb.co/0Mxd8rr You were being a smartass and then got one-guyed. The community on lemmy seems generally positive with a few crazies, just like everywhere.

Look in that thread and there are plenty of people who ask "how will youtube keep the servers up without ads though?" with reasonable responses such as: torrent-esque video sharing people donating to creators and youtube taking a cut or reasonable issues like: ads cause me a lot of stress and I am not wealthy, does this mean I can never watch a video again? Or read an article or see any online content? Not wanting to support billion dollar megacorps

Getting responded to in kind by 1 guy is not a toxic community, everywhere I've seen people ask a question in a normal way 99% of the time they get normal responses

sadly if you try to be a good landlord and make a slim margin, you'll get dumped a huge repair bill/tax increase/other expense and now you're running the appartment at a loss. At that point you either sell it to a company willing to exploit it or you have to be less nice to your tenants and ignore repairs or charge more. Most people choose the first which is why we end up with terrible landlords.

aside: heard someone in that exact situation running low income housing, on a phone call with an expert talking to the government. The expert said "any prudent management would raise the rents the maximum allowed amount"

for things like this I just assume the person's brain just exploded for a second. I could definitely see myself doing this with 2 hours of sleep, and feeling 100% sure you said try is also something a sleep-deprived person would do. Still sucks when it teaches you not to speak up though

Do you have any example of an "unpopular opinion" that has gotten you banned or any conservative banned? Also, probably the biggest reason I could see conservatives feeling like they're being "silenced" is because half of their platform is based on being racist(sometimes unintentionally), anti-lgbtq, etc.

The difference being when conservatives say it, 99.999% of the time we see the actual reason they were banned was for saying something like "it sure would be unfortunate if someone accidentally dropped an axe on Nancy Pelosi's head haha XD" as a figure with wide reach, or something similarly egregious.

Show me something similar happening here and I will also not take their complaints seriously.

Very true, I have a friend who wants to lose weight and said "but eating makes me happy." Easiest way to keep your current habits and lose weight is just add on going to the gym, and the more you go the more you can eat. Added bonus is no matter what happens you'll just feel better in daily life.

First, I completely agree with you that it's incredibly easy to let your weight slip. Just wanted to add that I know many overweight people I have gone out to dinner with, or just been around, that consistently make the wrong choice everywhere they go.

I'm at a restaurant and order something made of say, cucumber lettuce chicken and whole-wheat bread(as someone who is about average weight) The people I'm with order beef patties with mayo on white bread with fries as a side. I just want to shake them and say stop hurting yourself!! But there's not much I can do when every time I give a healthy alternative they'll say yuck, give me the processed food instead.

So definitely don't be hard on yourself if your weight is slipping, but if you're eating out every day or eating high calorie foods, just try to replace some of those, even with something else unhealthy but less calorie dense.
